Ok ta. So it’s speculation rather than fact as far as I can see.

How do we know that he wants his own technical director in? Is that from a reliable source or just been plucked from the ether and has now become fact?

Fuck me, I thought he was dead then

Think it’s because we were actually in danger of being successful then. And then when it fell away following Robson then the media were all like ‘who do you think you are to want that back again? That’s gone. You can never have it again. Everyone knows that Manchester Utd, Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal deserve to be the most successful clubs. You’ve had your time’ And it’s also other fans too, not just the media. Look at how Villa fans reacted that time we went down.

Dyche? Oh hell no. Id even take Gerrard over him and the thought of Gerrard makes me want to tear my skin off as it is.

I think a lot of it is cos Bruce and his muppet of a son kept bleating on about it and phoning TalkSport and stuff with their sob stories. These other managers have got a bit more decorum about them. There is also a definite anti-Newcastle, anti-north east bias in the media too of course. I mean, who do we think we are? We should know our place.

Eh??

Yep. I can see the downplaying budgets happening but I still think it won’t be anything crazy. Just hope they get some slack from the fans if they don’t sign a bunch of galacticos straight off the bat. I’m sure most of us here will be reasonable but I can’t speak for the twitter lot.

Pretty sure there won’t be a blank chequebook mind. Didnt the consortium originally say £200million over the next 2 seasons (so 4 transfer windows) on playing staff? Wouldn't be surprised if they revise that upwards a bit for Jan 2022 but I’m not expecting much more than a £50m outlay. Whether that’s 2 decent players or 4 soon to be out of contract ones and some loans I don’t know but not expecting loads of top quality incomings yet.

Ahahaha Oh Efan, you sweet summer child.

Been really impressed with the Bournemouth lads on here so far. And the City ones have been decent too so far. And that Arsenal lad. Quite enjoying our new football fwends.

He’s not mind

Oh it’s that guy. I totally know who you mean now. Comes across as a total bellend on TalkSport. I must remember never to read anything he pukes up onto paper again.

I’m so sick of the media these days being such clickbait bullshit merchants. It causes conflict and division and anger just so they can make a bit of money. Absolute cunts. It needs to fuck off this.

What actual McFuck…..??!

Nah I’d still be gutted if we missed out on Rafa

Welcome mate.

He’s in at 6.30am every morning.

These guys must have so much to do right now. The club is an absolute corpse.

Watch them change the O&D test.

I think that’s a legitimate worry

You talking about the ex-Arsenal manager? That’s not his dad

That’s the Law of Assumption at its best.

Ha yep, it’s now ‘oh fuck’

Think he means Jones has picked the 11, not Howe.
